The Plastic Problem: Where Does It All Go?

Every day, we use plastic—packaging, bottles, straws, and bags—without giving much thought to where it ends up. But the truth is, plastic doesn’t just disappear when we throw it away. It lingers in landfills, clogs our oceans, and disrupts ecosystems for hundreds of years.

The Reality of Plastic Waste

91% of plastic isn’t recycled – Most of the plastic we use ends up in landfills or the environment instead of being reused.

It takes up to 500 years to decompose – A single-use plastic bag or bottle that you throw away today might still be around centuries from now.

Oceans are drowning in plastic – Over 8 million tons of plastic enter our oceans each year, harming marine life and contaminating our food chain.

Where Does Plastic Really Go?

Landfills: Many plastics are non-biodegradable, meaning they sit in landfills indefinitely, releasing harmful chemicals into the soil.

Oceans & Waterways: Discarded plastic often makes its way into rivers and oceans, breaking down into microplastics that are ingested by marine animals—and eventually, by us.

Incineration: Some plastic waste is burned, releasing toxic gases into the air and contributing to climate change.
